Hal Leonard has acquired the rights to distribute Propellerhead Software products to the MI trade in the U.S., effective Nov. 1. Since 2005, Line 6 has served as the exclusive U.S. wholesale distributor for Propellerhead Software, which has created such music software products as Reason, ReCycle and Record.

“Teaming with Hal Leonard is a natural fit for us since they will help us tap new markets to better reach street-level musicians,” said Greg Batusic, vice president of sales for Americas for Line 6. “Players stopping by their local music store for sticks or strings may be apt to dabble in recording if our products are available where they shop.”

Additionally, Hal Leonard has reached a deal with Nashville, Tenn.-based Legacy Learning Systems to distribute the company’s Learn & Master courses exclusively. The deal went into effect on Nov. 1, making guitar, blues guitar, guitar setup and maintenance, piano, and drums titles available through Hal Leonard.
